Can employer change my contract from fixed term to permanent without my agreement?
|
I started work 6 weeks ago on a 6 month fixed term contract with a view to extending at the end of that 6 months.
I received a letter from employer today saying I have now satisfied all their conditions in my contract of employment and my offer of employment is unconditional.
Does this mean they have changed my contract to permanent?
What if I dont want to become permanent or if I want to renegotiate salary before going permanent?

No - it sounds like you have got through a company's probationary period - unless they issue you with a new statement of particulars stating that you are permanent, then the fixed term contract remains.
Your employer can make such a change to your terms, so long as they give you notice. You couldn't challenge it in a tribunal anyway until you've been there a year. If you did challenge - what case would you have? You'd be claiming that your employer has constructively/unfairly dismissed you by extending your contract!!?? How would you have been disadvantaged?
You can renegotiate your salary at any time, regardless whether you are permanent or temporary. You could find another job and/or give notice of intention to quit if you really want to force the issue, although it's risky. But at least with a permanent contract you'd have a choice.
If you are on a fixed term contract the power in a salary negotiation would surely be with the employer - you could find your responsibilities/salary downgraded as easily as improved. |

You should ask, but it sounds like they are planning to offer you a permanent position after your contract ends.
Unless your contract stipulates otherwise they cannot change your employee status witout your consent. |

The letter is only an offer. You have the rights to reject if you're not comfortable. |

It means they are making you permanent instead of probationary. You don't want to be permanent? I'm sure they will find somebody who wants to. |
